Problem Installing Apps In Android Market After Flashing Blazer Rom 3.8??!

Hey all, I have a weird situation. I recently within the last week flashed Blazers 3.8 Rom. Working perfect. One thing I did notice is that I went in the market to download a couple apps I had on my phone before I flashed this rom, For example, SetCPU and Speed Boost Lite, it downloads but once it goes to install them, it gives me an error, insufficient storage available. Don't make sense because I can download newer apps that I've never had before just fine. My SD card has 14GB available, USB Storage has 10GB available, and the device memory has 1.77GB free. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I'm so lost

I've had similar problems. You may need to completely wipe your device and reflash the rom, I did so, and everything works fine.

try clearing cache in applications/manage and clear the the cache for your market place and reboot and you could also try clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery sense you gonna reboot anyways ...and if that doesn't work then re flash as posted earlier...re flashing is the easiest answer but im just posting cause it sucks to have ur phone set up the way u want just to find out something doesn't work naaa mean....

CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 1

HI all,
I've flashed CWM5.5 from the recomended thread and installed Cyanogen 9 Alpha 1. Unfortunatly the phone seems to boot up but does never leave the boot animation screen (yes I've also flashed gapps after cyanogen).
Anyone can identify this pattern? On a normal device I could hook it up through a serial cable and try to debug the boot... Eventually how can I do that with a I8150?
Well, any help would be most welcome. I'm totally available for testing and I do have some experience with Linux even at a very low level/system space.

Install
Use CWM5.
Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
Wipe data and cache.
Flash update*.zip.
Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
Reboot phone.
After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.
read it thoroughly ...
1st you must flash update*.zip
2nd gapps*.zip
that just about it ....
what is your current kernel ?

That was pretty much it... I've restored not the original operator crap ROM, but instead the Value Pack ROM.
CyanogenMod9 seemed to install ok, but just looped and the phone didn't finished the boot. I'm not really sure on what happened. I'm just finishing restoring the stuff

I'm guessing you didn't wipe data/cache.

I did a factory reset, but sure, it might not have wiped the whole thing... Going to try again.

@argo68
True mate, the issue was not wiping the user cache. I've wiped the cache now from ClockWorkMod and it worked ok. Takes some time to boot compared to the stock samsung ROMs but it works fine
Anything you need tested ? I can most likely help.
I do have a problem with apps though, for example, GMAIL doesn't show the body of the message... as you can see on the screenshot, but I guess this is a app related issue maybe?
http://susepaste.org/images/39081870.png

After a reboot somehow it boots a bit faster and the gmail app is now displaying the body of the email and it seems a bit faster...
Good work, gonna ride this for a few days and see what happens.
@argo68
If you need beta testers, let me know. I'm off work this days but can't wait to get into my lab and check this stuff deeper

@argo68
he is arco68
just in case he takes offence, which I don't believe he would

Hi I'm using this cyanogen mod for quite a few days now. The back side of the phone is always warm and the battery is drained very fast. Anyone have this similar problem?
I'm sure that I install the ROM correctly as i cleared everything on the phone with CWM 5.0.0.4 before and after. (Phone data / Cache Partition / Dalvik Cache / Battery Cache)
Any help would be appretiated

No such problem here. You should use an app to check what frequency the phone is running at in idle, and also how much load there is on the cpu.

[Q] Help I deleted a system file

Hey I got my phone rooted, so I installed Titanium Backup, and then I uninstalled the stock browser, the download manager, and also android.downloader or something like that. And I broke my phone - now Google Play just crashes instantly.
I've tried reinstalling the firmware, and resetting to factory, but it's still the same.
Is there anything I can do, other than take it back to the store?
Help!!!!!
EDIT: It gives the error "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."

did you do a nandroid backup?> if not we need to know the exact application you deleted. future reference DONT DELETE. just freeze then its just a simple unfreeze and a freeze also stops the app from running. you will not get more available memory by doing this because this is on a different partition. Also never delete or freeze anything referring to com.android they are core funtions that are required for your device to run properly.

You deleted a process?!
My money would be that android.download or whatever process you deleted was required for Google Play to work. Hopefully you made a Nandroid before modifying processes. If not, you'll have to flash a stock ROM to get it back.
Alternatively, if you backed up system data with Titanium Backup, you might be able to find the process in there and restore it.
Echoing drksilenc, don't uninstall things through Titanium Backup unless you're positive it won't mess something up. How can you be positive? One, deleting processes always causes problems. Even freezing them can be messy. Don't do it. Two, in the case of an app, you'll know it's ok if you've had it frozen for a week or so and the phone hasn't acted up. Even with system apps, though, I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling. It's safer, and you never know if you might want/need that app again.

It gets worse.
I went down to the Bell store (my phone's actually from Bell, but they're similar to the AT&T ones, right?) and they wouldn't exchange it. So I tried going into the Clockwork Recovery, and wiped all of the little folders in "Advanced Settings." Because I noticed that Bell's add-on apps kept coming back, why weren't the other ones I deleted? And now it's a useless brick, says SAMSUNG and that's it.
Brand new one-day old superphone, totally wrecked. I don't even think there are any stock ROM's out there for this thing yet.
I'm a meathead.
I'll try reinstalling the firmware again that I did before, maybe I'll get lucky.

Nope, still nothin'.
So now I'm going to do something really crazy. Somebody on the interwebs says you can flash the SGH-1317M with the stock rom for the GT-N7105. Says it's the same thing except it's the international version and that it's even better.
I went to samsung-updates.com and searched for the Note 2, and sure enough, it's on their list of ROMs for the Note 2. So I'm downloading the GT-N7105, and I'ma gonna install it, unless someone here tells me different!

Don't do that. For one, flashing a ROM for a different device is virtually always Detroit Brick City. Two, the guy's got two whole posts. Don't do it.

Any rom in our dev section should fix you try clean rom ans stop using titanium vackup. Why are you debloating roms when devs did it for you already and obviously you see you have no clue what you're doing?

[/COLOR]Lol... that didn't work at all... I thoughtbthe links would copy over... look in the android dev section theres a rom there for you. .. 8)

Just flash any rom in the android development section usinf twrp or cwm, it will rebuild /system and fix any issues. In the future dont delete or uninstall system apps, just freeze them if you think yiu dont need it. Freezing stops the app from running ans taking up any cpu or memory so its almost as good as deleting (it still technically takes up space but this phone has plenty of space) with nine of the dangers. If something stopped working like play store, youvcan defrost the apps yiu froze easy enough.

Yes we promise lol and dont freeze or delete anything just leave it to the devs and only download stuff from this forum i317/i317m

Sadly, failure
I downloaded CleanROM Lite 1.0.zip, put it on the SD card, and used Clockwork Recovery to install it. The installation went without a hitch, but trying to boot the phone, all I get is the SAMSUNG logo still. So I did a factory reset, wiped the cache, wiped the Dalvik cache, and did "fix permissions", but it's the same.
So I'm downloading the other ROM ("Stock Root - De-Odex") and will try that presently.

These roms take a while to boot how long did you wait. Look you didnt break your phone from deleting apps just flash the rom and wait it will boot. Remember these roms are 750-800 mb worth of data to boot not 250mb like aosp roms, takes few mins to boot

You might have been right. I'm so used to it just freezing up that maybe I wasn't patient enough and just assumed.
But it works now! I flashed the Stock ROM, and it booted up with no problems. Then I flashed the lite one again, and it works too. So now I'm going to try the other ROM on the dev page, see how it looks.
And it's still rooted, so hooray!
Thanks for all your help.

you REALLY need to do ALOT more READING, and ALOT LESS Flashing...

Storage issues help

I'm suddenly having storage issues with every ROM that I flash after running a ROM with some script that isn't widely used.
First I'll give you a brief idea of my problem. I"m running out of storage and get notifications from the market saying as much after I download and reasonable amount of apps. The thing is... It show's I have used 738MB of ext4 out of 1.5 so that isn't the issue. The problem is internal memory. My phone won't move dalvik cache for some reason. When I run any ROM with a2sd or m2sd they both say that there is a problem and leave the dalvik cache where it is.
I think my internal folders are jacked up from 40ad2sdx or a zip that was used to clear memory before the ROM. There was a ext4 superwipe cleaner to load before the ROM. I did that without researching first. When I did go looking for the thread about it, it plainly said that it was for one phone only, and it wasn't my phone. I believe it was the Galaxy S3, but I can't be certain. It was a week ago. It was advised not to use it on any other phone because part of what it did was reset the internal folders. Does this mean I can now flash a ROM for the galaxy s3? Lol Just kidding.... Seriously, the second part is all my speculation and I have been wrong many times concerning android. Will somebody help me get my phone back in oem condition please?

Okay, I'm not even sure what you did here, because not knowing the script, anything could have happened.
Try wiping everything and flashing stock rooted here, then go from there with other roms after that.
If that doesn't work. Here's what I would do. It might be a major pain, but it is almost a surefire fix.
Unroot and return to stock, then root again.
[UNROOT]
[ROOT]
For future reference, NEVER flash anything that is meant for another device. (Obviously, if it's a port then you're ok.)
ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Backup your SD card, and wipe that puppy clean!! Only partition using Amon-RA recovery, otherwise it will screw you up quite often. I repeat, if you do not have the partition done correctly, then odds are that A2SD or equivalent won't work.

I did the wipe and flash to stock earlier today, then flashed the Pac man ROM but the issue is still there. I had looked at unrooting my phone earlier today also. I'm glad to read this because it lets me know that I do have some idea of what to do. Thanks for the reply. I'll post here again with the results. Check back soon.
EDIT----> Man, my phone is okay. I loaded up a fairly recent ROM by Tronit, and it worked fine. It was the ROMs. Just to be sure, I went back to the last two ROMs just to see, and they did the same thing again. Now I'm on the AOKP Unnoffical and it's working just fine. The a2sd is working perfectly like it should, and my dalvik cache is moving to ext4. It was just coincidental that the last three ROM's I loaded all have issue with the a2sd. It's funny how nobody else see's problems but me. I looked in the bin file of one of them and it's missing part of the a2sd file. The other two have weird init.d files that I don't know anything about. I'm assuming the a2sd problem is related to that. It's funny how I see lots of problems, and report them, but I get blown off by some people as a noob who is making mistakes. I am a noob, and I do make mistakes, but I know some of my theories about problems are correct...... I gotta get me some respect by compiling my own ROMs.

Status update..... My phone is jacked up for sure. It does work with the AOKP Unofficial by Tronit, but this morning when I cleared my cache with Smelkus Recovery, it had major problems with almost every app. Clearing the cache in recovery is something I've done with every ROM and this has never happened. I uninstalled all the apps and reinstalled them. Got them working again. Everything seemed to be okay. However, when I cleared my cache with Android Tuner, again it ruined every app. I've used android tuner every day for two months to clear the cache and never had problems like this. Something is very wrong.

Long story short, I flashed something made for another phone. I can't explain why I did this without taking up lots of pages, and it doesn't even matter really. Lets just focus on the solution. Here is the link. I flashed both of the zips in the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
So I think my permissions for the files on my phone are out of whack. Is that what I"m reading is the possible outcome of flashing these if your phone is not the one listed? Please post your thoughts. I need them.

I did that. Both with Smelkus, and Mini partition wizard. Same problems. I just tried to fix permissions with smelkus 4.3 on the AOKP Unofficial ROM and it took a minute for it to do it's thing. The line of dots was two full rows. So when It loaded back up, I suddenly see the same disk Icon in my notification bar, and now this ROM says it it out of memory. Man, it was working fine. I had twenty more apps on it too and I uninstalled them. It was working fine then, so with twenty less apps, it shouldn't suddenly say "Running out of Storage space."

I have told you this already: Please do not flash things meant for other phones, it could mess up. If it's meant for another device, it might screw yours up. To stay on the safe side: If it's not generic (works for every Android phone) or phone specific (exclusive to the Evo 4G) then don't flash it.

I flashed this about a eek ago, when I was looking for the ext4 wipe. I thought it was the same thing as another zip despite what it said. Stupid... I know. I think this may be the cause of my problems, but I can't be sure. I don't know at all really. Just speculations. I reflashed the CWM touch and used to flash a stock ROM. Gonna try that again. I ran the test on CWM touch and it said that the
/sys/class/android_usb/android0 was missing and unable to perform the test. Can this be the cause of my problems?

Don't beat yourself up man, it was an honest mistake, just learn from it and you'll be alright.
Now the optimal recovery for this device would be the Amon-RA recovery, and I recommend redoing what I said in my first post once you have Amon-RA installed. Amon-RA is an awesome recovery, and it's super easy to install. Check out this easy-to-follow video on how to install by clicking here.
Do that, then do what I said in the previous posts. Let me know what happens, because I'm almost certain this should work.

I was finally able to get my phone straightened out. I loaded up a stock ROM then decided to use my SD Maid to look around. I found a file with completely different dates on it, but it wouldn't let me remove it. I ended up copying everything else in the subfolder and then deleted the parent folder. Then added everything else back. Wah lah.... magic. I don't know what that file was or where it came from but it was killing my internal memory. I'm wondering how it stayed from ROM to ROM. I dunno, but it's gone, and the Pacman ROM is lovely now. BOOM!!!!

Whatever I did only fixed part of the issue. I'm left with in a situation where every time I go into recovery my downloaded apps stop working. It is cutting part of them off whether I clear cache or not. All I have to do is power off into recovery, and when I reboot, all of my downloaded apps begin giving messages that "Unfortuately such ans such has stopped." My phone becomes inoperable. The only way I can keep it working is to send a new launcher to my phone from the market, let it install, then open it up and uninstall all the downloaded apps. I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix for someone like you Mancuso. I have a logcat and it show LOTS of errors that I have never seen before on any of my other logcats. What are my options? Tell me what to do to get my phone back to absolute OEM and then I'll reroot. UNLESS you know of some fix.
I've supplied a logcat from Catlog if you or anybody else wants to have a look. I'd really appreciate some help here. I love my Evo and I love learning this stuff. If somebody can help me positively identify the problem, I can most likely figure it out from there. Please give me your suggestions here. I'm nothing without some guidance on this. It's way out of my scope.
I've included a link to the ext4 script wipe that I used. How I got to this page, I do not know. However, I ran it because this page said it COULD POSSIBLY work on other phones despite the fact that it was made for another phone.

[Q] Having weird issues, could it be my setup?

Let me start off by saying that I bought this phone already rooted so I didn't have a chance to learn with it. Every time I flash any rom that people say should work well, it doesn't work great for me. I flashed the latest version of TWRP myself. Now, in order to get a good flash, what should my mounts be set to? Currently they are preload, ext sd, and internal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but even on something as stable as cm 10, I still have issues. (Slowness, no gps even after fix, and some other small stuff). Help please and again, I am a total noob so I apologize for that.
This also causes problems when I install a kernel. It will never load the system. Even if I wait one hour, do a hard reboot and wait another hour, it still won't load. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what?

What version of TWRP are you using? I heard 2.6 may have some issues?? Also, did you do proper wiping procedures, such as factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, etc before modding a new ROM? Which new ROM are you flashing, and did you flash a new radio with it?

First, what is it flashing procedure? I should be downloading rom to ur external/internal SD card, then boot to recovery and make a backup of data, boot, and system partitions, then wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache 3x each, then go back to main menu and choose install, find the rom and flash it, if aosp also flash gapps, then reboot, shouldn't be having any issues if u follow that procedure, and upon first reboot let the phone sit for around ten min or so to let everything settle, the first few days or so things will still be settling in so give it 3 full battery cycles before u start guaging performance, I'm on twrp 2.6 and never had an issue yet an I'm a flash addict, u could also try reverting to stock with Odin and then starting over, Odin give a more complete system wipe so u may have some corrupt files somewhere, but like I said if u follow that procedure u should be ok
